Several reports late Tuesday night, including one from Dallas Morning News reporter Evan Grant, have the Indians in the midst of finalizing a two-year, $10 million deal with Texas outfielder David Murphy.

In his first season as manager, the Indians saw a 24-win turnaround from 2012 and hosted a playoff game as the AL’s No. 1 wild card.

Francona becomes the second Indians manager to win the award after Eric Wedge did so in 2007. The Indians hadn’t been to the post season since.

“This is an organizational award,” Francona said from his home in Tucson, Ariz. “I’m honored to get it, but this is a huge organizational award. That’s what makes me so happy. … That we did it together.”
